This was such fun to watch! Those orange/yellow eyes really pop out at you!😮😉

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you, Ara! It was fun to make. It now lives on my husband's desk :D

[@LuccaAce]

I was definitely thinking that the top teeth could stand to be lower while you were sculpting them, but then I remembered that a mimic is a shapeshifter, so it can just put them where it needs to be when it comes to chomping time. And anyway, the end result is amazing! Great job, as usual!

[@brat8360]

You seriously never, ever cease to amaze me with your talent!! This is insane!! So creative!! I love it!!

[@raekurz3701]

I really want to make a mimic chest for my dad who loves DND. And this helps A LOT, so thank you!!

[@RavensMinis]

Have fun creating!

[@stigyanblue1442]

I want to decorate a box with moving parts like spinners and spiders so it looks wildly complicated but it just opens right up. Then I will use it as a fidget toy.

[@richardandjuliegare5960]

This reminds me of the Luggage from Terry Pratchett's DiscWorld

[@tzisorey]

Should've made a second, inner, lid - that looks like piles of gold, and enchanted swords, and magic armour and stuff ;)

[@punjabpainting2002]

Great job dear friend..stay connected always

[@madhatterally1046]

I’ve been doing mimic chests for about 3 years. Although I use nail polish and glass cabochons for the eyes. I get my chests from dollar tree and hobby lobby and I’ve done 4 chests so far all different sizes.

[@BrittanysMagicTrunk]

This is super cool. I have no idea what a mimic box is (still don’t) but I love watching your process working with clay! And the paint job is always stunning.

[@liwiathan]

It's a monster from Dungeons & Dragons. They're omnivorous and typically look like small boxes or barrels, but can look like anything. Plants, demonic softball\crab hybrids, dorky Sweeds.

[@RavensMinis]

Thanks so much!

[@edielynch7819]

Loved this! Followed your procedure to make my Monster book of Monsters...now I'll have a new video from you to help me make a Mimic! Keep up the great artistry!

[@samanthadean1083]

OMG!!! My friend loves DnD!!! I should totally make this for her Birthday!!! Such an amazing idea!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@RavensMinis]

If you do, please share! I'd love to see it. Happy birthday to your friend!

[@theguest4516]

That was so cool!!! I didn't know what a mimic was so was really invested to see how it turned out!!! I've been dealing with the opposite end of the weather spectrum!!! In the -37°C with windchill in the -40°C for a week. Your eyelashes get frost on them so when you get inside the frost melts and it feels like you've been crying. 🥶💨🥶 Windchill is no joke!!! Take care and have fun!!! 😷😎😷

[@NikkiRaven]

I love how it turned out!

[@craftinglady]

Wow, that's just stunning! Looks a bit spooky, too. Not sure if this was the right video before going to bed 😛

[@amandagermany5933]

Have to make my fiance one. He could keep a dice set in it. Love it!

[@bonnieimnotcontroversial9224]

I have a wooden box that needs a makeover, this is perfect! Great idea! 💥

[@cat3crazy]

I like it!! It was interesting to watch you put the entire thing together. The eyes don't look like they are just round. The pupil looks like it is indented into the rest of the eye. I love the end result.

[@CrixJoki]

LOVE LOVE LOVE! :D 💜💜💜 perfect dice jail ;)

[@tamaramarianieri2867]

Amazing! Saudações do Brasil!

[@christineingram55]

Oh my gosh ..I love it it’s so darn cute and creepy .Love the teeth and the tongue ..He definitely does not look well.with it that colour lol..but would not change it as it’s brilliant ..Love n Light 🥰

[@ravenskeep9009]

I had to watch your video with the sound turned off. Your background music was causing an anxiety trigger for me for some reason. :( Not sure what was up with that. Oh well. The mimic box was cute.

[@kendramanuel1276]

Flipping Awesome 👍❤️👍

[@recoveringsoul755]

Never heard of this before, but it turned out great, and creepy. The drool coming off the teeth, ewwww....

[@susanamann1806]

I play video games where mimics are hard monsters that look like treasure chests until you open them then they convert to this evil monster. Good job .Agreed teeth need to be lower by chest rim or tongue.

[@jantucker9355]

Wow! Very creepy and awesome! Well done.

[@karenknicely1788]

You can go to Dollar Tree to get the boxes!!

[@janineharris3601]

Omg if you ever give it away I want it. It looks so awsome

[@carrie4910]

Oh coooooool! I love the slimy tongue effect

[@daphnet39]

Fabulous creation!

[@amandagermany5933]

Also, that Bonne Maman jam is the best!

[@saragoff9065]

He is just so cute! I love him! Lol 💚💚

[@mariawelych4294]

It’s the Monster Box of Monsters!

[@bluedragonette]

This is very cool.

[@kingyames]

This is my comment

[@edimusprime]

this was awesome

[@darniataylor7749]

I 💜 this!!! A great addition to your HP collection!

[@pamelaclawson6283]

Excellent!!

[@Cleansweep38]

Awesome job!

[@morodriguez2913]

Amazing!

[@mijskes1803]

Amazing!

[@kerry1963qld]

Very Nice

[@carolinaazevedo2088]

I want one!

[@carolmilburn2324]

Awesome!

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

JUST an FYI fun fact: If you lived in the US, seeing your name in writing, depending on your surname, lots of Americans would assume that you're Black American. That name is very common among Black Americans today, in the last 40 years or so (not continental Africans), but foundational Africans (descended from US slaves). Some names can keep you from getting even a job interview, but that is gradually changing as we become more skilled and move around.

[@RavensMinis]

Interesting!! My first name is Dutch (born in The Netherlands). My surname is my married name :) My maiden surname is very Dutch and means 'Graveyard' when translated to English

[@tamaramarianieri2867]

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@nicoleguidry5233]

it's The Luggage!

[@TheAprilbooks]

Yep!!! You beat me to the comment! 😀👍🏻

[@RavensMinis]

I had to look that up as I'm not familiar with the Terry Pratchett books

[@nicoleguidry5233]

@@RavensMinis Absolutely my favorite author. The luggage was one of the characters that showed up in several of his books. It alternated between being very helpful and... eating people.

[@marthatownsend7702]

what a fun box :)

[@arithrojas1831]

❤️🏳️‍🌈

[@Finefingers74]

That is amazing! The only thing I’d change is having two hinges instead of one. Guys can be so rough with things.

[@RavensMinis]

I'd too but I had no extra hinges available....

[@isabellealgrinart6947]

This is such a cool project! I have tons of little boxes I gathered over time and definitely should make a few projects with the help of your videos :)

[@RavensMinis]

That's a great idea!

[@karinasanchez3285]

Yay! 🙌💗🤗

[@johnnycollinson3529]

Love it, what colors did you use for the teeth?

[@RavensMinis]

They are made from translucent sculpey, then just a thin watered down layer of brown acrylic paint and a glossy top coat :)

[@debbralehrman5957]

It no longer looks like a plane wooden box. Once you painted it I didn't think the gums looked quite as high. Of course it could be getting ready to bite. Nicely done.

[@fancifuldevices]

This is so freaking cool with so many creative details. Amazing

[@fuzzydragons]

perfect monster box for dice 😀 and gorgeous paint job as usual 😀

[@LoriFahy]

AAHHH ... This is fabulous.. i really enjoyed watching the break down of the way you thought it out.. and the end result is Amazing, great job Chantal x

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you so much!!

[@barbaracatalano6299]

Love it! You always amaze me with your art and talent.

[@CutestVoodoo]

Wow, this is absolutely amazing! I love the creepy teeth! And I am impressed that the Mont Marte clay is passable. I see it in the cheap shops and was going to get some and now that I see you working with it, I might give it a go when I decide to get brave and sculpt something. 😍

[@RavensMinis]

Passable for flat surfaces for sure! I would not make a too complicated sculpture with it. If it gets too sticky you can always apply some corn starch

[@sharoncarter9301]

I LOVE IT!!! I think the top lip placement looks great! You are such an inspiration! And I am so greatful that you show us how you create these wonderful pieces of art!

[@RavensMinis]

Thanks so much for watching, Sharon!

[@amberbanuelos7053]

You’re my favorite artist. Thank you for another awesome work of art!

[@RavensMinis]

Wow, thank you!
